Cohabitation

I have couples tell me all the time that living together before marriage will make their marriages stronger. It is just not the case. There is so much research out there on this. Here’s the latest via CSI and Cohabitation at Counseling Notes. The results are summarized this way:
The longer a couple cohabits before marriage, the greater the amount of negative stresses on them. If cohabiters, by nature, already have less commitment to marriage than those who choose to marry without cohabiting, the presence of these stressors might be just enough reason for them to end the relationship.

“Showing up on time with a smile on your face is almost always more important than what you actually say or do.”
Amen! One of my pet peeves is when people are late. It’s also one of my pet peeves when I am late. I was late to an appointment yesterday and it bugged the crap out of me.
At least I was smiling

“Anyone who is in a position of leadership has to consider what image they’re projecting, and that goes for clergy too,” she said. “The problem with frumpiness isn’t so much aesthetic as it is a problem of looking as though you are not paying attention to the world and that you are not part of today’s world … They will not be willing to hear us in the same way if we look like we walked out of 1972.”

I have not been in my office for 10 days. It feels so weird to sit down and try to get back into the swing of things. I have so much to tell you all.
I guess I’ll just start with this and then I’ll trickle other information to you the rest of the day.

I have been quiet on the blogging front because I have been in meetings in Orlando. Right now, as I look around the table, I see representatives of German, Chinese, American, Honduran, and Mexican churches. Very cool stuff.
Here are a few pictures from the time:
First of all, the answer to the question, “How do you find the German in the room?”
Secondly, the answer to the question, “Where do the big decisions get made?”
